Arrow International anesthesia kits recalled for contaminated solutions

Arrow International included lidocaine, bupivacaine, and saline solutions from a supplier with quality problems in multiple anesthesia and nerve block kits. The supplier's products may be ineffective or contaminated, which could cause serious infection or other life-threatening complications if the sterility of these injectable solutions is compromised.

  • Stop using affected kits if you work in anesthesia or pain management.
  • Check the lot number on your kits against the recalled batches listed in the FDA notice.
  • Contact your hospital or clinic's materials management or procurement department immediately.
  • Report any adverse effects or product concerns to the FDA's MedWatch program.
Hazard

Lidocaine, Bupivacaine, and 0.9% sodium chloride, the subject of a supplier recall, were included into kits and sets. The supplier was found to have quality issues and limited reports of drug ineffectiveness, and if sterility of a water-based injectable product is compromised this could lead to serious or life-threatening injuries.
